I only have his excellent runs to go off . Videos . It's the dogs brain I admire . I'm sure there were times where his style actually went against him . I personally run dogs out of romeo . So the bitches you mentioned of sankys are more to my liking . I reckon it's more the man behind the dog your getting at . Would I use Lucky over one of my bitches. No pal . But I do admire him

It certainly was . Look how it slows down and let's the dog at him going to the left . Then pulls 10 /20 yard going right . It certainly had somewhere in mind . The dogs style was unreal . Look how he's still spoken about to this day . Did he produce anything even half as good as himself ?

What a hare

Lucky was more intelligent than most so called dog men lol

Fantastic that is pal . -
Was beast her grandsire?

They might need landing gear . If they have a brain and control their speed. He's onto a winner. Good luck . That's a similar way bred the wee buzz dog you liked tomo

Enjoy mate . Your out doing it
-
You should know rambo. Haaaaa
-
Aye they are crap . No good size land ,and they don't get run enough lol

Get his swimmers tested before the bitch breaks . Will save a lot of waiting etc for possibly nothing

Bottom, far right , dog with no name -
Knew a 15 year old to sire a very good litter

Good gear that . All the px products ( ornikil etc ) kill most pathogens. Kills covid 19 on contact
-
As has been said before , a fast dog that runs slow . Good wind and mouth and your half way there

Stiffy, I think Ian is talking past tense . As the man says he hasn't owned a lot of saluki xs. And more than likely compared the saluki hybrids of the 80s when I'm sure he was at the game hardest . As you say wee bob sharpened the mongrel bred bitches he went to up . I have had 2 out him and both very good dogs . But to say one of them was the best in the country, no , I haven't seen most dogs go . Run Annan myself, and whilst you can get a good hare anywhere . I do find a higher percentage of Mr rights pop up on the far south East Coast of Scotland . Again its all opinions. Enjoy your do

I can only go with vids etc .and a lot of footage was France and ploughs .

Jmo , but steadier types can loose out on run jp to a bit cover and loose sight mate
-
Edited to say , I heard bully wasn't endless like bog for instance . Totally different types
-
Can't agree in steady types being as fast . They ain't mate . Some just fall far from the tree . Simples . However some siblings can have totally different styles. Look at woolys , they tend to be slower etc
-
Basically I'm saying even a top hare can make a mistake and be killed . But yeh , agree the best hares are still not under control even at 3 mins . As for lucas . Dog was top notch by all accounts even if I personally have no time for owner . The dog was immaculate and a real killer. Tell me.do you think bully woulda stopped the lucas on a real hare hare ?

I was running them for 40 year mate . I know exactly what a strong un is . But I've also seen an electric dog bamboozle a hare that was flying early . Making me wonder " was he a real un " but he made one mistake and payed price , whereas a steadiier type wasn't pressuring enough to capitalise on the hares one mistake . So no ond can say it wasn't a real un . Just like we can't say otherwise. Also been out pre ban and one dogs consistently catching at 2/3 mins and others at 4/5 mins constantly. To me the steadiier type owner can't surely be thinking he's riding all the goodens and the faster
-
The do if they are bashed on plough at the end of someone's toe lol . And again , I tend to disagree to an extent . If a dog forces a mistake and hare gets outdone. How will we ever know it was / wasn't a gooden. I chuckle when I hear this . How many have been put up and owner is standing there thinking, here we go . Dog looks a superstar for 60 seconds. Shoulda put it away a couple of times. Then little hare gives himself a shake and pulls said dog all over the land . Now imho, that hare would be talked about as a real un . Whereas he coulda been caught in 50 seconds with a sharp killer
-
Agree and disagree mate . A top dog will be testing a real good winter boy regularly. Forcing a mistake if possible. Yeh Geoff was good lad . Hills was a good site . But imho , a good dog kills anywhere. Stock broken, taught to jump wire , if the dog has good gears , brain and good steam , should kill anywhere in UK
